I take it you don't like snakes? Joan, My wife did not belive me when I told her to come over and see a "pink" rattlesnake.

Blechhh phoooooey I'm not fond of rattlers, particularly when you don't see them until you're about to step on them. Any good rattler who has been properly schooled in rattler etiquette should at least give his tail a shake or two to let you know where they are. They do have their place however and I certainly wouldn't kill one unless it was necessary...matter of fact, we've saved quite a few of them in our travels by blocking the road until they were safely across because unfortunately, there are yahoos out here who will go out of their way to run over any snake that's in their path. We've seen a couple of "pinkish" ones, much smaller than the fat one coiled up in your picture. I guess it's all about living in Arizona, everything in the desert either stings, bites or sticks, if it weren't that way......it would be Nu Yawk.

Rocky................Your photos were even better than I expected. I especially liked the Nevadaville, Co. and Vulture City shots. I'm truly envious that you can make a long trip like that while I'm working my butt off this summer. Maybe next year I'll just go ahead and do it. That's the first time I've heard of anybody seeing a pink rattlesnake other than in the Grand Canyon. Pretty exciting find,eh. Thanks again for posting the photos. Take care......................

You are the one that educated me on Pink Rattlesnakes. I have seen a caught others, Non Pink, but never saw a pink one before. This guy was so lazy (hot) I probably could have reached down and picked him up with my bare hands. My wife and my mom were defintely not in favor of that idea when i suggested it.

By the way. I work about 50 hours a week. You just got to plan it. Next site update I will include some gold pictures. here is a sample.
